Merlin in the Library

Merlin in the Library (2018) Ada Maria Soto

This is a very short story that follows on the heels of His Quiet Agent. It’s not a full-blown story as much as a peek into Martin’s mind, and a reassurance that he will, eventually, be ok.

Martin wanted to reassure Arthur that he was fine and send him back to bed, except his therapist reminded him every session that there was nothing wrong in asking for help and he should do so whenever he felt the need.   This advice was anathema to the way he had lived his life. Before. But that was then. He was, if nothing else, not stupid.

We only get the barest of peeks into Merlin, but it’s enough to know that although things were serious, and although he has years of recovery ahead of him (OMG y’all, concussion is actually treated like the brain damage it is, rather than something to just shake off), he and Arthur will be okay.

But really, this is only if you read the previous story. Do NOT read this if you haven’t.
